Programmable Chat Media Filename (JS)
The Media Support docs it mentions that when sending media you can: "Optionally specify a default download filename to help your application display the media to other users.". This is done using messagingOptions in Swift however in JS I cannot find any supporting documentation on how this is done. Currently, I am sending media as follows:
channel.sendMessage(
contentType: 'image/png',
media: fs.readFileSync(media)
);
I have tried adding a filename with file, filename and name properties without any luck. As you can see the filename is empty in the Twilio console:
Any help on adding a filename is much appreciated, thanks.

It's not in the JS SDK documentation, I'll follow up with the Chat team here at Twilio and let you know.
